Bakgrund: År 2050 beräknas det finnas 100 miljoner personer med demenssjukdom i världen. Att skapa stunder av gemenskap, försöka bevara patientens identitet och göra omvårdnaden personlig är avgörande för en god vård. Patienter med demenssjukdom har ofta kvar sin förmåga att sjunga och känna igen musik även i ett sent stadium av sjukdomen.Syfte: Syftet med examensarbetet var att beskriva vilken inverkan musik kan ha i omvårdnaden av personer med demenssjukdom.Metod: En litteraturöversikt baserad på nio vetenskapliga artiklar genomfördes; sex av studierna var kvantitativa och tre kvalitativa. Nyckelfynd identifierades och sammanställdes för varje artikel. Likheter och skillnader jämfördes och övergripande kategorier skapades som efter ytterligare analys kondenserades till teman och underteman.Resultat: Resultatet visar att olika musikinterventioner ökar välbefinnandet hos personer med demenssjukdom genom minskad ångest, minskad agitation, förbättrad sinnestämning samt uttryck av glädje och lekfullhet.

Words like pirates and anti-pirates are becoming common features in the cultural political debate of today, and the file-sharing phenomenon has become a more and more delicate and disputed subject. The fact that people are organizing in networks to swap computerfiles with each other has, among other things, led film and music companies from all over the world to initiate a number of anti-piracy organizations, assigned to protect the right to culture and information. The industrial organization Antipiratbyrån (the Anti-pirate Bureau) and the network Piratbyrån (the Pirate Bureau) have on several occasions been used to represent the prevailing conflict in Sweden. The purpose of this study is to apply a sociological perspective to the collective act of file sharing. Additionally, the purpose is to argue that the activity can be understood as a social movement, although it is rarely referred to as such.

We have different kinds of signal processing everywhere around us in our everyday life, in our cellphones, when we are listening to music, watching TV etc. This makes signal processing a very interesting and important technical area, where the demand of skilled engineers sets the limit of what is possible.Working with signal processing requires in-depth knowledge in areas such as mathematics, physics, electronics, and other related areas. For this, it has traditionally been demanded by a talented developer to also master the advanced programming languages such as C / C + + and Assembler.This has begun to change; today there are several companies that offer graphical development environments for signal processing, environments where programming skills are not needed anymore, and the focus can be on signal processing instead.The goal with this project is to build a corresponding graphical development environment to reach an understanding of what is required of these systems, and also to grasp what opportunities that are available within graphic programming. Inspiration for the work has partly arise from some of the tools available on the market, and partly from previous theses that have been written about graphic programming.The challenge lies in creating a program that can execute signal diagrams in real time from given signal blocks, and be able to handle feedback loops in an efficient way and to do so at the lowest "cost" in terms of clock cycles as possible. This should also be compared against to code, compile and run a complete signal diagram directly.To increase the usability it should also be possibility to externally manage in real time the parameters of the signal diagram during execution.The interface is a separate program, which is to some extent similar to Matlab Simulink, where a signal diagram is drawn up graphically by connecting wires between different signal blocks.

Jag har som examensarbete på master-nivå formgivit en sittmöbel med utgångspunkt från min uppväxt i Dalarna. Målet har varit att göra en filosofisk tolkning av mina minnen samt en hyllning till regionen, i synnerhet Borlänge där jag växt upp.Jag har under projektets gång gjort en resa både på ett mentalt och rent fysiskt plan tillbaka till den plats jag växt upp för att utforska mina minnen och därigenom skapa en plattform för mitt designarbete.För att nå mitt resultat har jag använt mig av designmetoder som ITK, intervjuer, skisser, studiebesök, materialtester, mockups samt modelleringsverktyget Rhino.Resultatet är en stol inspirerad av saker som bland annat Ornäs stugan och musikkulturen i Borlänge. Stolen består av en metallkonstruktion, trädetaljer vid fötterna samt armstöden och en sits i läder.For my thesis work on postgraduate level, I have designed a chair based on my upbringing in Dalarna. The goal has been to make a philosophical interpretation of my memories and a tribute to the region, particularly Borlänge where I grew up.During the project I have made a trip both on a mental and physical level back to the place where I grew up to discover my memories and thereby creating a platform for my design work.In order to achieve my result, I have used design methods such as ITK, interviews, sketches, field trips, materials testing, mockups and the modeling tool Rhino.The result is a chair inspired by things like Ornässtugan and the music culture in Borlänge. The chair consists of a metal construction, wooden feet and armrests and a seat made from leather..

There is respect for the history of dance and my aim is to find out how the history affects the dancing youth today. The design of the dance lesson is often of a traditional stereotypical manner, both didactic and methodic, and it rarely appears to be questioned. I have danced for almost 20 years and I am a part of this tradition of movements, music, language and way of ?being?. My ambition with this study is to go outside my own experience and offer insight and an overall picture of a, for the outsider, closed world.

The Societety Park (Societetsparken) of Varberg here in Sweden, established in the year 1883 (1856), is one of the most famous parks in Varberg. Today it is, more or less, only used as a park that you will walk through in the wintertime, under the summer season though, the park starts blooming and then it is used for public music and singalong evenings. Earlier it was an old health resort park with its fine old traditions.The Societetsparken was a private owned park until 1902 when the town purchased it. On this plot there was already a smaller park and it was established as early as in 1856. It was called Badhusparken (The Public Bath Park) and it belonged to the hot- and cold-bathhouses, and these baths were very well frequented.

Smärta är en sensorisk upplevelse såsom syn, hörsel och beröring vilket gör att smärta är mångfasetterad. Detta gör postoperativ smärta till en komplex uppgift för sjuksköterskan. Postoperativ smärtbehandling är att avlägsna obehag, att underlätta återhämtning och att undvika komplikationer. Varje patient har en unik upplevelse av smärta och en individuell acceptans av smärta vilket skapar skillnader i önskemål om smärtlindring. Vården ska så långt som det är möjligt utformas och genomföras i samråd med patienten.

Forskning visar hur musiken inverkar på människans totala välbefinnande och kapacitet. Det finns studier som påvisar samband mellan musik och prestation och statistiskt sett har musikklasser bättre studieresultat än andra klasser. I denna studie har undersökts hur gymnasieelever själva upplever körsången i skolan, och rent specifikt om körsången kan påverka deras totala studieprestation. Undersökningen fokuserar kring att få en djupare inblick i hur dessa elever ser att deras egen personliga utveckling hänger samman med körsången i skolan. Vilka egenskaper och förmågor utvecklar körsången? Detta har sedan kopplats till rådande forskning om motivation, prestation och framgång.

New production is not the only thing that is important for the city?s growth. It is also crucial to recover existing buildings in order to create attractive areas. There is a school in Va?stera?s city called Wenstro?mska skolan which consists of six high schools that provide different professional specializations and which has an area of about 35000 square meters.

Does playing have to hurt? - A quantitative study of ergonomics and double bass playing. This is a paper about ergonomics and double bass playing. I have studied the prevalence of playing-related pain in professional double bass players, teachers and students. This study is based on a questionnaire with 11 questions about double bass playing and pain.

As I recently started to record in a studio, I almost immediately came to the conclusion that getting the right sound is not easy. I became curious about my recording procedure. What did I do wrong? How to place the microphone? Use of equipment? How is it possible to modify the sound afterwards? Are there any special methods that are commonly used among producers and/or guitarists? My thoughts ended up in a question ? What do producers and guitarists think of the guitar sound during a recording session in relation to the final production? In my research I interviewed two producers and two guitarists about guitar recordings. The results show that the quality of the guitar sound is in relation to production and style of music.

SAMMANFATTNINGTitel: Musikbolags kommunikationsprocess via social mediaFörfattare: Sabrina Bengtsson, Angelica Wass Granquist och Cecilia WiklundHandledare: Joachim TimlonKurs: Kandidatuppsats 15 hp i Företagsekonomi inriktning Marknadsföring, Music &Event Management, Linnéuniversitetet, Hösttermin 2013-2014.ForskningsfrågaHur kommunicerar svenska musikbolag med sina kunder genom social media?SyfteSyftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva hur kommunikationsprocessen ser ut via socialmedia, analysera hur svenska musikbolag kommunicerar via sociala medier samt gerekommendationer till hur de på bästa sätt kan kommunicera med kunderna via desociala medierna.MetodI uppsatsen har vi valt att göra en kvalitativ undersökning med en abduktivforskningsansats. Detta gjorde vi då vårt mål har varit att komma så nära vårtproblemområde som möjligt och gå på djupet istället för bredden. Den empiriskastudien bygger på fem intervjuer med personer som har en koppling till kommunikationoch musikindustrin.SlutsatserVi har genom analysen kommit fram till att musikbolagen inte marknadsför sig självautan sina artister. Något av det bästa ett musikbolag kan göra är att anpassa sig efter sinmålgrupp.

Internet commerce is nowadays a well known phenomenon. There is awareness that a lot of newly created companies operate their business through the Internet. You can see a tendency where many young people try to establish an Internet business with the hope of success and expansion on today?s fierce market rivalry. To achieve success, companies have to consider factors like business concept, logistic knowledge, future vision, resources and contacts when initializing their business.Having this in mind, we can clarify the purpose with this paper: ?To analyze in what way On-line shopping companies that sell consumer electronics, cell phones and music/entertainment products, have expanded? The paper is based on telephone interviews with three On-line shopping companies.

Digitization is a concept that has become popular in terms of collections of old heritage-related material such as books, photographs and paper documents. This work is a study of the Swedish composer Allan Pettersson (1911?1980) and his personal archive stored at Section for Manuscripts and Music at Uppsala University Library. My issues are What happens to the archive of the digitized? Will there be a "new" archive of the digitized? What guidelines are Uppsala University Library using for their digitizing and how do they look? What will be the result after digitization? What about copyright and the material? Allan Pettersson's personal papers consist a large collection of sketches of musical notes, newspaper clippings and concert programs.

Purpose  The purpose of this paper is from a consumer perspective analysis whether or not blogs are affecting a customer?s purchase behaviour to a larger extent compared to traditional marketing methods through TV commercials. Additionally, within the scope of this try to identify the type of consumers that are more influenced to a purchase decision by blog contents compared to others.Methods Through a quantitative approach this study will examine the effectiveness of advertising in blogs. A survey was used in order to collect data where the respondents corresponded to the population in Sweden in the ages 15-79. Initially the size of the blog audience was estimated and thereafter it was examined how many of these that were affected towards a purchase decision by blogs.
